crime fiction prizes. He lives in Florida.

STARRED PW REVIEW, PRAISE FOR THE OVERLOOK:

"How smart and fortunate for listeners that Hachette Audio has turned to veteran Connelly reader Len Cariou for some added weight. Cariou catches all the strength and sadness behind Bosch's minimal dialogue and is also perfect as Harry's LAPD colleagues, female and male. He is especially good at bringing to frightening life the real villains: the federal investigators, headed by a former Bosch lover, FBI agent Rachel Walling... All praise to Hachette for getting Cariou to help us through it. The production boasts original music by Frank Morgan. "
(Publishers Weekly).

PRAISE FOR THEOVERLOOK:

"Again, the usual departmental and federal politics and the unexpected plot twists combine for a great work. Connelly's novels are quite simply only getting better with age; the banter of the murder investigation is smart and the action taut. This sixth narration of a Bosch mystery by Len Cariou is excellent and brings the characters to life. Highly recommended."
(Library Journal).

PRAISE FOR THE OVERLOOK:

"By now, most listeners will agree that Len Cariou IS Harry Bosch. Cariou took over about five novels back and has made his own mark with the Connelly books...Cariou handles all his characters with aplomb, and Bosch with the gruff preciseness listeners have come to expect."
(AudioFile Magazine).

"If Bosch is our detective, Connelly is our laureate, proving again that popular fiction at its best . . . is also literature."
(Los Angeles Times).

When author Connelly is on his game, he's unbeatable for unexpected plot turns and compelling characters. With "the Brass Verdict," he is in top form...Actor Peter Giles drives the story with pitch-perfect narration and pacing that heightens the whole experience...Bottom Line: Engrossing personalities inhabit a crackerjack murder mystery. For audio listeners this is a battery drainer. You won't want to turn it off.
(Huffington Post).

"Michael Connely's twentieth novel as narrated by newcomer Peter Giles is a humdinger....Gile's hoarse, whispery voice crackles when he's Bosch and is authorative as Haller. Despite their differences, the story resolves in a way that makes listeners eager for the next installment, especially if it's performed by Peter Giles."
